Love how we went from "if you're calling Biden to drop out you're a russian agent" to "he's so great for dropping out since it's the obviously correct choice, what a great sacrifice he did for his country".

You were a Russian agent for implying that you wouldn't still vote Dem in the event that he didn't quit. Also the enthusiasm over Kamala, and now Walz as well, is great but absolutely unprecedented. While people certainly believed we could and would figure things out if Biden stepped down promptly, I don't think anyone honestly believed things would come together anywhere near "this" well. Which makes it all feel extra satisfying in the aftermath.

Nah, i had people call me a Russian bot for saying it'd be a good thing if Biden dropped out. There's just a lot of stupid people about.

Though while i was expecting a Biden dropout to be successful, i certainly was not expecting it to be this successful.

I love how people went from "if you vote for a Democrat you love genocide" to "damn with Biden gone, what other ways can we shit on anything resembling a Democrat?"

It’s the tired song and dance, capital will propagandize all the same. So many little froggies that simply sat under Daddies’ Fox News broadcast while playing with their toys. No one really cares what reason anyone has — if you make Republican arguments, you’re a Republican. Wrap yourselves up in “genociiiiiide” all you want, you trash bags. Literal inhuman. Republicans at least vote consistently to destroy themselves. These fake leftists are disgusting, only exist to destroy the cause they say they support. MAGA is just plainly treasonous. Gaza-leftists are insidiously so.

I'm sure you could've said something weirder and more cryptic though
